O ile sobie przypominam nie wszystko było tak jak zostało napisane. Weźmy np. wspomnianą 4 DP. Nie była to etatowa 4 DP, lecz Kombinowana Dywizja Piechoty, składająca się z pięciu kombinowanych pułków piechoty wystawionych przez pięć dywizji czasu pokojowego, bez artylerii:
–Dowództwo Dywizji – Dowództwo 4 DP,
Kombinowany Pułk Piechoty 4 DP Toruń
– I batalion – 14 pp Włocławek
– II batalion – 63 pp Toruń
– III batalion – 67 pp Brodnica
Kombinowany Pułk Piechoty 14 DP Poznań
– I batalion – 55 pp Leszno
– II batalion – 57 pp Poznań
– III batalion – 58 pp Poznań
Kombinowany Pułk Piechoty 15 DP Bydgoszcz
– I batalion – 59 pp Inowrocław
– II batalion – 61 pp Bydgoszcz
– III batalion – 62 pp Bydgoszcz
Kombinowany Pułk Piechoty 16 DP Grudziądz
– I batalion – 64 pp Grudziądz
– II batalion – 65 pp Grudziądz
– III batalion – 66 pp Chełmno
Kombinowany Pułk Piechoty 25 DP Kalisz
– I batalion – 29 pp Kalisz
– II batalion – 56 pp Krotoszyn
– III batalion – 60 pp Ostrów Wielkopolski


Przy czym warto dodać, iż pułki 21 Dywizji Piechoty Górskiej i 23 Dywizji Piechoty były dwubatalionowe, a pułki artylerii lekkiej – dwudywizjonowe.
10 Brygada Kawalerii nie miała w swej nazwie określeń ani pancerno-motorowa, ani zmotoryzowana.
Górnośląska, a nie Śląska Brygada Obrony Narodowej
Śląsko-Cieszyńska Półbrygada Obrony Narodowej, a nie 1/2 Cieszyńskiej Brygady Obrony Narodowej
Zaginął gdzieś Kombinowany Pułk Kawalerii sformowany przez 16 i 18 Pułk Ułanów, 8 Pułk Strzelców Konnych i 2 Pułk Szwoleżerów.
Dywizjon Artylerii Lekkiej powstał bazie dowództwa 32 dal oraz po jednej baterii z 4 pal, 14 pal, 15 pal, 16 pal, 25 pal, 31 pal.
Dywizjon Artylerii Ciężkiej powstał na bazie dowództwa 18 dac oraz baterii 8 pac (105 mm), 1 pac (155 mm), 10 pac (155 mm).
Dywizjon Artylerii Najcięższej z 1 pan.
Nie spotkałem w WP do wybuchu II wojny światowej takich jednostek, jak 2 i 22 Dywizjon Przeciwpancerny.
O ile się nie mylę, były dwa bataliony saperów:
Pierwszy sformowany na bazie: 4 bsap Przemyśl i 1 bsap Modlin, drugi zaś: 1 bsap Modlin, CWSap Modlin, 7 bsap Poznań i 1 bmk Kraków
